Introduction:


   Sunsilk is a hair care brand, primarily aimed at women, produced by the Unilever group, which is now considered the world's leading company and brand in hair conditioning and the second largest in shampoo.  Sunsilk is Unilever’s leading hair care brand, and ranks as one of the “billion dollar brands". Sunsilk shampoos, conditioners and other hair care products are sold in 69 countries worldwide.


     Sunsilk was launched in the UK in 1954, and by 1959 it was available in 18 different countres worldwide. At the time, Sunsilk had an advantage over other shampoos in the market as it only needed one application, and so meant washing less natural oils from the hair. Sunsilk cream shampoo for dry hair was launched in 1956 .    


MadonnaNatalia OreiroShakira, and Marilyn Monroe all featured in Sunsilk's 2008 advertising campaign “Life Can’t Wait”[4] which launched with a Super Bowl XLII spot. The philosophy behind the campaign was about girls taking positive steps to gain better control of their lives “Hair On = Life On”.
